Employment Law for Employees

About Carla

I am a Solicitor specialising in employment law, providing advice and assistance to both employers and employees. I am known for my friendly and personable manner. Whilst I generally prefer to adopt a non-contentious approach, I am experienced in situations where more rigorous negotiation is required.

I have wide ranging experience and understand both commercial and public sector environments and needs. I qualified in 2007 at Norwich firm Hansells but shortly moved into local government with Norfolk County Council, where I could develop my experience. Having also worked in the legal department of then FTSE 250 subsidiary company Fendercare Ltd, I moved back into private practice with Hatch Brenner in January 2015.

I was fortunate to be involved in some high profile cases at Norfolk County Council. I am proud to have assisted clients in securing generous settlements and cost effective resolutions, as appropriate.

I completed my law degree at Nottingham Trent University including a year in industry working with an in-house legal team. I completed my LPC at the College of Law. I am also a member of the Employment Lawyers Association.

‘Carla was very professional. She was very sympathetic about the situation. Her work was first class and dealt with all queries and following things through in a fast time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carla or Hatch Brenner.’

‘Hatch Brenner, and Carla Gowing in particular, provided a very professional service and ultimately achieved the right outcome in the case.’

‘The service I received to resolve a sensitive employment related issue was exemplary. My case was managed with efficiency and the excellent communication lead to an impressive result.’
